Red List of Bees Contributors

The Red List of Pollinator Insects of North America was a team effort. The lion’s share of the funding for the project was provided by the CS Fund. This project could not have been undertaken without them. Other funding was provided by members of the Xerces Society and from the Butterfly Conservation Initiative, which provided a small grant to develop profiles for the U.S. federally listed butterflies.

The Red List of Pollinator Insects of North America could not have been completed without the assistance of John Ascher from the American Museum of Natural History. John provided valuable information, advice, and direction for developing the section on native bees. We would also like to thank Karl Magnacca from the U.S. Geological Survey-Biological Resources Discipline for his help with bees in Hawaii, Robbin Thorp of University of California at Davis for his assistance with bumble bees, and Laurence Packer of York University for his assistance with several of the bee profiles. We want to thank Jaret Daniels of the McGuire Center for Lepidoptera Research for his profile on the Miami Blue. Thanks also to Xerces Society staff members Jeff Adams, Logan Lauvrey, and Ann Wawrukiewicz for help with editing and design. Abigail Hyduke from the Northwest Service Academy and Xerces volunteers Clara Elias, Amy Lambert, and Marie Elwood also provided valuable early research.

Although we did receive assistance from many people, we take full responsibility for any errors in this document.
